This is THE spot to get to Dresden/Berlin. Did it a few times now. Not a lot of german number plates, but the vast number of cars going in that direction compensates for that.

Towards Kliny/DE, low speeds, okay traffic, has street lights, however a bit awkward to stop cars, a lot of locals going to the next villages over are unlikely to stop for you, better to aim for tourists or the very rare German car you'd see, wait times of 20-50 minutes to be expected

Towards Litvinov, finally away enough from Teplice, to get more friendlier locals, side road with wide enough area for cars to comfortably stop, wait times of 10-15 minutes to be expected

Locals, tried to get to Duchcov but ended up walking, very unfriendly area for hitchers, even if it's just villages and smaller roads, loads of romas around here

Towards Zabrušany, low traffic, low speeds, but noone stops around here

Towards Most, looks to be ideal spot with good visibility, cars coming from petrol station etc, however besides middle fingers you will not get a car within couple of hours, in overall Teplice is not the easiest city to get rides from in any direction, loads of suspicious romas around here

We took a bus from Prague and then took a 15 min walk to get here. We were standing at the exit way from McDonald’s with a Brno sign. We got a ride directly to Brno after 20 minutes. Seems like a good spot.

We got here from Brno by a train and a bus. There weren’t that many cars stopping here and its gonna be hard to get a car to stop by standing with a sign next to the road (at least in this particular spot) as there’s a “no right turns” sign there (maybe because of the construction nearby, i’m not sure). But we managed to get a ride to Vienna from here so maybe we got a little lucky.

Awesome spot. Open 24/7. Got a ride to Praha after 15 minutes.
There are some cars even in the late evening.

Got stuck here once in the evening. Keep in mind, that the petrol station closes at 10 pm and this place is completely dead afterwards. No town around, no people, no open shops.
Got a ride to Plzeň today after ca. 40 minutes.
Ignore all the other roads and ask the drivers directly at the petrol station. Pretty much the only way to get a ride in this confusing place.

A lot of traffic. Got a ride to Nürnberg from a trucker quickly. Sign “DE” works well

We used Brno sign.

Simply asked around and very quickly got a ride to the next gas station, where there is way more traffic and you can easily hitch a ride on the way to Brno.

good place, easily accessible by public transport. A truck driver from Turkey picked me up after 30 minutes to the border, after the border a couple from the Czech Republic.

A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.

Super easy spot heading west! Cars slow down as they approach the town, and it seems like many are just passing through, heading either west or south. I managed to get a ride all the way to the Czech Republic (hey, Leon 👋). A lot of cars, though!

If you're trying to cross the border into the Czech republic then this is the place to be. Good traffic and it's possible for the drivers to stop just before entering the on ramp. Of you're patient then it should be possible to get a ride to Prague from here.

Impossible trip to the Czech Republic, 4 hours and nothing. it's better to choose a different place

We're extremely lucky, the first car took us until Nordhausen (we're heading to Harz) but generally very good spot for going to Germany. All Germans stops here because the gas is cheaper in the Czech Republic and it's the last gas station before Germany.

I was left here by driver who took me from Krakow (late Sunday) and just after I left the car and asked the first I noticed there (many stop for gas, to rest etc.) I had a lift to connect A1 (I needed to go the the Czech Republic border).

Over one year later, I was here again, and have to take back what I said before. The place where I hitchhiked last year is not a good spot. This time I hitchhiked right next Mercur and ofter 20 mins got a lift to the highway. Unless it is Friday and lots of Poles and Czechs are going home the chance someone will take you to the Czech Republic is low, so hitchhike without a sign, and get as far as you can ;)

Friday morning only few cars were going to the Czech Republic. Waiting 2 hours.
(But good place for spent time - in fuel station is unlimited free wifi and electricity with tables)

not really sure if this was the spot, but most probably it was, anyway, here should be a bus statio which is a great spot towards the Czech Republic, cars stop at the lights and have enough space to pull over. I was there about 30 min and then a guy took me about 20-30 km further.

Decent traffic going to the Czech republic and further. I got a ride with a Slovaki on her way home.

Probably the best place of Grafenau, direction Freyung. There is almost nobody going to the Czech Republic though.

2 of us waited for about 2 hours to get a lift towards the Czech Republic- we got very lucky. It was not a good spot, not much traffic, not many cars going that way. (It was Thursday evening, 5-7pm)

From the city center, walk trough the Rybnicka street. You can stay in the front of BP petrol station. A lot of local traffic, but some of the cars are going to the A4 (Katowice, Krakw or Opole, Wrocaw) or southwards to the Rybnik, Bohumn, Ostrava and farther to the Czech republic)
